Wendy Wood took the lead in explaining their role in supporting both women and men who are experiencing Domestic Abuse. We participated in answering a questionnaire which highlighted the frequency of Domestic Abuse, and reminded us all that this is a matter of concern across the whole of society, regardless of social status or education.<\/p>\n<p>President Chris hopes that our Club will work to raise awareness of this issue during the next 12 months, and to raise some much needed funds to support local services.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We welcome new members.For informal enquiries, please contact Membership Secretaries: Sandy Baxter \u2013 01325-377291 or\u00a0 Angela Edwards &#8211;
